Making a “racquet” at nationals
The 2013-14 women’s tennis team made its inaugural
season a memorable one, ending with a 20-5 record
and a trip to the NAIA national tournament in
Mobile, Ala. Ranked 19th, they took on No. 14-ranked
Milligan College from Tennessee and lost 5-4 after
several close matches. This year’s team continued
building on last year’s success with a 4-1 record in fall
matches and hopes of returning to the 2015 national
tournament when competition resumes in January.

Ruth S. Coleman College of Nursing and Health Sciences
College’s name change reflects expansion into new fields
Prompted by changing community
and national health care needs,
Cardinal Stritch University renamed
the Ruth S. Coleman College of
Nursing to recognize the launch of
academic degree programs in health
sciences, beginning with the first
post-licensure Bachelor of Science
in Respiratory Therapy Completion
program in the state of Wisconsin
The college is now known as the Ruth
S. Coleman College of Nursing and
Health Sciences.
“The University is answering the call
of the community,” Stritch President
Dr. James P. Loftus said. “After
more than three decades of offering
exemplary nursing programs, Stritch is
responding to the state’s need for new
programs in health sciences.”
The roots of the Ruth S. Coleman
College of Nursing and Health Sciences
date back to 1980, when Stritch began
operating a program run by the Sacred
Heart School of Practical Nursing.
Stritch expanded its nursing offerings
from associate-level programs in 1983
with the addition of the bachelor’s
degree and again in 1998 when the
University introduced Wisconsin’s first
master’s degree with a focus on nurse
educators.
The College’s latest addition, the
Respiratory Therapy Completion
Program, allows respiratory therapists
to advance their careers by completing
a bachelor’s degree in two years.
Although associate degree programs
in respiratory therapy can be found
across the state, Stritch is Wisconsin’s
first institution of higher education to
offer a bachelor’s degree in respiratory
therapy, which is expected to fill a
critical need.
“Due to the increasing complexity of
federal regulation changes, the
health care community is asking for
respiratory therapists to be prepared
at the baccalaureate level,” said Dr.
Kelly Dries, ’03, ’14, dean of the College
Stritch signed articulation agreements
with the seven Wisconsin technical
colleges that offer an associate degree
in respiratory therapy, allowing
students to seamlessly transfer to
Stritch for the bachelor’s program.
A recent study conducted by the
American Association for Respiratory
Care reiterated that the current health
care environment requires more skills
than ever. The volume of knowledge
that a respiratory therapy student
must learn increases yearly, yet the
amount of hours in the classroom, lab
and clinical settings are limited at the
associate-degree level.
With the addition of this program
and recent growth, Dries announced
in August the appointment of the
College’s first associate dean, Dr.
Kathleen Van Eerden, R.N. Ph.D., ’14,
and noted the addition of several new
full-time faculty members within the
past two years.
“These faculty members bring a new
level of expertise as we grow into new
areas,” Dries said.
A new mental health strand within
the curriculum, made possible with a
grant from the Milwaukee-based Faye
McBeath Foundation, also adds to the
preparation of students in all programs
offered by the College.
Last year, the College celebrated its
reaccreditation by the Commission
on Collegiate Nursing Education, an
autonomous national accrediting
agency that ensures the quality and
integrity of baccalaureate, graduate
and residency programs in nursing.
Details about all nursing programs can be
found at www.stritch.edu/nursing or by
calling (414) 410-4000.
Ruth S. Coleman (1923-2007)
In April 2003, the University
named the College in honor of
Ruth S. (Soref) Coleman, a
Milwaukee philanthropist and health
care advocate who died of lung cancer
in 2007 at the age of 84. Coleman’s
daughter, Roberta Caraway, ’86, a
Stritch nursing alumna and retired
nurse from Milwaukee, and son,
Mark Sklar, a founding partner of DMB
Associates of Phoenix, continue the
support initiated by their mother and
remain involved in the College.
“When then-president Sister Mary
Lea Schneider encouraged Ruth S.
Coleman to allow Stritch to place her
name on the front door of the College
of Nursing, a very special honor
was bestowed upon this University,”
Dries said. “I have been entrusted
with preserving the memory of this
remarkable woman, her legacy and the
values of her family. I have gotten to
know Bobbi Caraway and Mark Sklar
over the past few years. Together we
have been able to begin the expansion
of the College.”
The David and Ruth Coleman
Charitable Foundation with the
Costigan Family Foundation (Anita
and Trustee Alexander Costigan, ’13)
provided some of the seed money to
expand the College to include health
sciences. The Coleman Foundation
also has provided grants to Stritch to
underwrite nursing and respiratory
therapy scholarships.

Wayne and Lori Earl, whose family inspired the popular
book and movie, "The Fault in Our Stars," visited Stritch
as guests of the Kendall Lecture Series for several
speaking engagements Oct. 23 -24.
1. Guests celebrate the Mass of Remembrance in the
St. Francis of Assisi Chapel.
The Earls are the parents of the late Esther Earl who
served as the inspiration for the bestselling book by
John Green, “The Fault in Our Stars,” which became the
basis for a hit movie of the same name. The book has
become a No. 1 New York Times bestseller and a source
of inspiration to millions, and the film adaptation netted
more than $263 million at the box office worldwide.
3. Susan Balthasar; Bill Gaus; Anita and Al
Costigan, ’13; Wayne and Lori Earl; and Nancy, ’87,
and Lee, ’88, Kendall share a meal at the president’s
reception, hosted by Dr. James P. and Irene Prior Loftus.

4. Lee Kendall, ’88H, talks with Trustee Emerita Susan
and Dr. Leander Jennings.

Established through the philanthropy of Nancy, ’87, and
Lee, ’88, Kendall, the lecture series honors the liberal
arts tradition of the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi and
underwrites visits of speakers of national prominence
to Stritch.
The Earls shared stories of their daughter Esther’s life
and legacy of empathy, joy and compassion. Diagnosed
with cancer at 12, in her four remaining years Esther
proclaimed that life isn’t measured by days, but by love,
which is stronger than even death. Following the keynote,
guests were invited to a special reception for alumni and
friends and a book signing with the Earls.

On Oct. 24, the Earls spoke at the Saint Clare Center for
Catholic Life’s Forums on Faith and Work at the Italian
Community Center in Milwaukee. Afterward, they offered a
presentation for students, prospective students and families.
The Earls honored their daughter with the creation in
2011 of the nonprofit organization This Star Won’t Go
Out (tswgo.org), whose mission it is to financially assist
families struggling through the journey of a child living
with cancer. To date, TSWGO has given away more than
$175,000 to families in need.
7. The evening included a book signing.
10. Nancy Kendall, ’87, and Lori Earl admire flowers
given to them by Irene Prior Loftus.

In addition, the Earls published “This Star Won’t Go Out:
The Life & Words of Esther Grace Earl,” a collection of
Esther’s journal entries, letters, online chat transcripts
with friends, and other correspondence.
During the Earls’ visit, the Stritch community rallied
in support of cancer patients and survivors by creating
a wall of stars honoring and remembering loved ones,
providing opportunities for people to make hats and
prayer shawls, and participating in Crew Cuts for Cancer.
Among participants, Dr. James P. Loftus, Stritch
president, showed his solidarity with cancer patients.

Since his appointment as president of Cardinal Stritch University in July 2011, Dr. James P. Loftus has provided
new focus and direction for the University while maintaining its unique Catholic Franciscan identity. In his time as
president so far, Loftus has guided the University through a visioning and strategic planning process resulting in
five goals for long-term growth, new academic programs, a more vibrant student life, and enhanced branding and
identity. He has nearly 25 years of higher education experience, and his office is filled with objects that demonstrate
his lifelong support for Catholic higher education as well as a variety of personal mementos.

Communications director, Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi
In July, 22 Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi celebrated their anniversaries of religious profession at a special Jubilarian
Mass. Among the Sisters, 13 hold degrees from Cardinal Stritch University, most earning them at the time the institution
was known as St. Clare College, and seven Sisters served as faculty or staff members of the University. We acknowledge
below those Sisters who have Stritch ties:
75th anniversary
60th anniversary

for the Reading Clinic; Sister Marianne Vogel, OSF, standing
center right, (B.A. Education, ’65); Sister Mary Francis
Heimann, OSF, seated right, (B.A. Biology, ’66); Sister Laverne
Sommer, OSF, standing right, (B.A. Home Economics,’73);
Sister Joanne Meyer, seated center left, taught at Stritch
during three separate periods between 1961 and 1974; Sister
Rosalynn Dzikonski, seated left, served as secretary to the dean
when she was a postulant.
2014 New Student Orientation
Stritch Seminar starts first-year students on the path to success
Stritch’s First Year Experience (FYE) program addresses the academic and social needs of the University’s
incoming freshmen, preparing them for their baccalaureate years. Beginning in the 2014-15 academic year, the
University reexamined, renamed, and revised FYE.
Dr. Daniel Scholz, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and Tracy Fischer, ’00, ’05, ’09, senior director of the
Student Success Center, led a committee of faculty and staff dedicated to restructuring the program.
The result of the committee’s research is Stritch Seminar, a redesigned program with a renewed focus on the core
components of culture, confidence, and competency.
70th anniversary
Included above: Sister Jane Hoffmann, OSF, not pictured,
(B.A. Education, ’51); Sister Dolores Gergen, OSF, not pictured,
(B.A. Education, ’52); Sister Lenore Steilen, OSF, standing
left, (B.A. Education, ’53; M.A. Education, ’70); Sister Lucille
Pritzl, OSF, center, (B.A. History, ’73); Sister Mirian Terese
Yost, seated left, (B.A. Music, ’50) served as a music instructor
at Stritch; Sister Carol Ann Newlon, standing right, worked in
food service at Stritch from 1963-70.
Through Stritch Seminar, first-year students enroll in a small, intimate course that focuses not only on an engaging
topic, but also provides a general orientation to academic life. The courses have a common syllabus related to
goals, objectives, and assignment formats, but also leave room for faculty to customize details to their topics and
teaching styles.
“The committee’s primary objective was to make Stritch Seminar the best vehicle to introduce college success skills
to our first-year students,” said Matt Goodwin, director of student experience and committee member.
50th anniversary

Kathleen Hurley OSF, left,(B.A. Foreign Language, ’66)

For example, every seminar must include two experiential learning opportunities; one must be a service project.
It is, however, up to the faculty to decide the specifics.
Seminars offered in 2014-15 include, “Body Language: What are We Really Saying?,” “Breaking News: How it
Matters to You,” and “Sound Sculpture.”

Music, theater programs join
to create new performing
arts department
Stritch recently launched a new performing arts
department, bringing together the existing music
and theater departments to form a single unit in an
effort to provide a more comprehensive education
for students in those disciplines.
“Music and theater are very similar in discipline,”
said Dr. Eun-Joo Kwak, chair of the department.
“The delivery on stage may be different, but the
processes to get there require the same methods:
learning new materials; practicing, memorizing
and internalizing parts; group rehearsals; dress
rehearsals; final performance, etc. With the two
programs now under one department, music
and theater students will interact more closely,
supporting and learning from one another.”
Stritch to offer doctoral program in special education
Beginning in January 2015, the University will offer a new
doctoral program in special education.
Faculty members across the College of Education and
Leadership will integrate their collective expertise in
the design and delivery of this innovative program.
Coursework will be jointly offered through the
departments of language and literacy and special
education.
The program, which is designed for leaders within the
broad field of special education, will focus on theoretical,
instructional and cultural models of learning for students
with special learning needs.
“This program will provide students with the research
foundation needed to visualize new trends in special
education,” said Dr. Linda Gordy, associate dean of the
School of Urban Initiatives. “Students will have the
opportunity to research a specific interest or a particular
area of specialization in the field in pursuit of systematic
change in the field.”
The program will be delivered in a learning community
format, utilizing a cohort model as well as smaller study
teams of three to five students.
New students may enroll in a cohort with courses
beginning in September or January.
For additional information, visit www.stritch.edu/academics.
Dr. Dennis King, associate dean for the arts,
explained that the development of a performing
arts department is beneficial to music and theater
students, but also supports the University’s broader
strategic initiatives.
“The new performing arts department will support
increased enrollment and retention by offering
expanded extracurricular opportunities for all
students,” King said. “Similar to the development
of our new athletics programs, vibrant theater,
orchestra, choir and band will attract a new
population of undergraduate students.”
With the restructuring, Stritch welcomes three
new full-time faculty members: Mark Boergers,
assistant professor of theater; Sal Terrasi, director
of instrumental music; and Allyn Weber, assistant
professor of theater.
Visit www.stritch.edu to view the 2014-15 schedule
of music and theater performances.

department will support

Stritch collaborates in Milwaukee entrepreneurial pilot program
In fall, Stritch participated in The Commons pilot
program, a corporate research and development initiative
that allows student entrepreneurs to learn and work with
peers and corporate mentors.
Connecting Stritch with the Greater Milwaukee
Committee's Innovation in Milwaukee initiative, Startup
Milwaukee and several regional institutions of higher
education, The Commons involved students from 20
southeastern Wisconsin colleges and universities who
formed teams and could choose one of two tracks: the
startup track or the corporate innovation track.

Dr. Mark Gesner, ’13, chair of community engaged
learning and leadership in the College of Business and
Management, served as Stritch's liaisons for the pilot
program.
“Engaging our students in this innovative program
not only provides new and exciting experiences, but
also nurtures the creativity, entrepreneurial spirit and
community orientation of our student body,” Rains said.
“This is truly a unique and exceptional opportunity for our
students to learn and grow.”
The start-up track is modeled on “seed accelerators” that
help students form their own companies in the span of
three to six months through supportive programming and
access to mentorship, capital and talent. Unlike similar
programs, The Commons leverages the academic and
entrepreneurial resources of the entire region, not just
those within a single institution.
The Commons also will engage students more broadly
through a corporate innovation track that involves them in
challenges posed by corporate partners.
Gesner added that The Commons provides an
extraordinary chance for students to gain professional
experience and open doors to growth and networking.
“The launch of The Commons will certainly energize
participants,” Gesner said. “But I hope that it also sparks a
new approach to innovation in Milwaukee that leverages
collective assets and provides fertile ground for more
innovative thinking and action in the region.”

Health care can be a hot-button
issue in today’s society, but health
care executives cannot shy away
from the conversation knowing
the vital importance of how their
expertise can help shape how the
industry evolves in the generations
to come. Society relies on bold
leadership in hospitals, health care
systems, nursing homes, and clinics
to envision the future of health
care, with a greater emphasis on
preventative care, maintenance
of chronic conditions through
increased education, and serving
the changing needs of an aging
population.
Health care as a reflection
of society
Many leaders in health care argue
that an examination of the system is
incomplete without an examination
of broader society.
James Platten, ’96, chief executive
officer for Open Cities Health
Center in St. Paul, Minn., and
an adjunct faculty member for
Stritch’s College of Business and
Management, asserts that areas of
growth in health care can be directly
linked to societal demographics.
Taking a pulse
Health care leaders offer expert diagnoses
of what’s to come
by Laura Schreiner

In the United States, for example,
the average life expectancy is 76
years for men and 81 years for
women. Just as significant as
the number, is the reality that
individuals are remaining active
for longer. As the baby boomer
generation ages, there is an
increased demand for certain
medical specializations.
“If we look at the fields that show
some of the largest expansions,
including orthopedics, oncology,
and physical therapy, we can see the
relationship between the industry
and society,” Platten said.
Platten has developed unique
insights into the needs and realities
of the people he serves.
“The Affordable Care Act has made
health insurance more widely
available, but the fact is that there

will always be uninsured and
underinsured people,” said Platten.
As a Federally Qualified Health
Center (FQHC), Open Cities
Health Center accepts and treats
all patients, regardless of their
insurance status. Organizations
must meet several criteria to
qualify as an FQHC and receive
enhanced Medicare and Medicaid
reimbursements. According to the
U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, these grant-

funded organizations must “serve
an underserved area or population,
offer a sliding fee scale, provide
comprehensive services, have an
ongoing quality assurance program,
and have a governing board of
directors.”
To meet the needs of its community,
Open Cities Health Center provides
comprehensive care through
medical, dental, behavioral health,
chiropractic, optometry, podiatry
and social services.
As CEO of the center, Platten adheres
to the Institutes for Healthcare
Improvement’s “triple aim” initiative
to ensure the best outcomes for
his staff and patients: improving
patient experience (outcomes and
satisfaction), improving the health
of populations, and reducing health
care costs per capita.
“Health care is a moving target
right now,” Platten said. “The clinic
paradigm is shifting dramatically,
but the opportunities are
exponential.”
Opportunities in leadership
As the demand for services and the
structure of health care evolve with
society, so must the professional
roles within the field.
Lynda Gruenewald-Schmitz, ’03,
vice president and chief nursing
officer of non-acute services for
Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare
based in Glendale, Wis., agrees
with Platten’s assessment
and acknowledges that there
is an unprecedented range of
opportunities for health care
professionals, particularly those in
nursing.
In fact, her position is new within the
organization, and she is enthusiastic
about developing that role.
Gruenewald-Schmitz said that
Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare is
on the cutting edge of the nursing
profession’s development. In fact,
she recently attended a national
conference for nursing executives
and, when asked who in the room of
300 held her position, only a handful
of individuals responded.
“Nursing, in particular, is
reinventing itself right now,” she
said. “Traditionally, clinic-based
nurses haven’t had direct access to
nursing leadership, but the role of
nursing is becoming much more
visible.”
According to Gruenewald-Schmitz,
new and enhanced roles in nursing
are the answer to many of the
health care reform challenges that
still lie ahead.
“More than 50 percent of patient
care is now provided in outpatient
settings,” Gruenewald-Schmitz
said. “Since we’re treating more
chronic disease, nurses will have
a much stronger role in primary
patient-centered care.”
Stritch
MAGAZINE

Stritch in Time
She asserts that nurses are key
individuals in patient advocacy.
Because they spend more time
with patients, they may be able to
provide assessments that probe
more deeply than just the medical
symptoms. For example, a nurse
who knows an elderly woman’s
husband recently died may pick up
on symptoms of depression.
“We need to view our patients
as whole people,” GruenewaldSchmitz said. “Patient-centered
care is about seeing more than
just the medical symptoms. We,
as health care professionals, have
to be able to make those personal
healing connections with patients.”
Stritch answers the call
As Gruenewald-Schmitz describes,
nurses play an integral part in the
delivery of health care, both locally
and globally. As the largest health
care profession in Wisconsin, the
number of nurses directly impacts
both the services and health
outcomes for the population.
According to Dr. Kelly Dries,
’03, ’14, dean of Stritch’s Ruth
S. Coleman College of Nursing
and Health Sciences, Wisconsin
currently is observing an increase
in nursing school enrollments;
however, students are often
waitlisted due to a shortage of
nursing educators, as well as
program capacity limits.
In 2013, the Wisconsin Center
for Nursing stated that it is
critical for nursing programs to
“immediately increase enrollment
and graduation of a large number
of new nurses who are capable and
committed to Wisconsin.” Stritch
is prepared to answer that call
by expanding its health sciences
programs, as well as promoting
nursing student retention and ontime program completion through
academic support and dynamic
classroom and clinical experiences.

Stritch
MAGAZINE
“Administrators, faculty, and
student services staff, all serve as
student advocates and play a vital
role in nursing student success,”
Dries said. “Our mission is to
invest in our students and help
them grow as the next generation
of leaders.”
“We need to view
our patients as whole
people. Patientcentered care is about
seeing more than just
the medical symptoms.
We, as health care
professionals, have
to be able to make
those personal healing
connections with
patients.”

by Sara Woelfel
“That’s a big shift,” Pollard said.
“But I do think reimbursement
structures are going to catch up to
that, and they are going to reward
that type of approach. So it really
requires us to rethink and retool
how we deliver care.”
A positive effect of the shift toward
outcome-based evaluation is the
focus on health education and
preventative care.
“It’s going to help us focus on
keeping people healthy,” Pollard
said. “It will help us focus on those
who have chronic illness, so we
can keep them out of the high-cost
settings like hospitals. We’ll always
need hospitals, but it will be to
treat those individuals for whom it
was an unavoidable situation.”
Sister Mary Lea Schneider, OSF, Ph.D., the University’s
president at that time, joined Oswald and Stritch on the
tour.
Aside from her stage and public
presence known so well to
audiences and fans, Stritch
revealed more of her behindthe-scenes self during a visit to
Cardinal Stritch University in
1999. As the niece of the school’s
namesake, Samuel Cardinal
Stritch, she graciously accepted
an invitation to speak at the May
commencement and accept an
honorary degree.
“At first, the two of them did not seem to be getting it
right, so her administrative assistant suggested she find a
different pianist,” Sister Mary Lea said. “She turned to him
and said, ‘You can’t do that. He will be fine.’ And he was,
and they did a fine job at graduation. What struck me was
her sense of fairness and compassion – he would get it
and she was not about to simply give up and find someone
else. She had a wonderful heart beneath a somewhat crusty
exterior. She could be blunt, but never hurtful.”
“During her visit, I had the
privilege of giving Elaine a tour of
Stritch’s Nancy Kendall Theater,
which was not yet two years
old,” said Professor Emeritus
David Oswald, former chair of
the theater department. “She
loved the space and I remember
her saying, "Can't we have the
graduation ceremony here?’”
The importance of health
education and preventative care
is a priority upon which Platten,
Gruenewald-Schmitz, Dries and
Pollard agree.
“If an individual with a chronic
condition has a medical
appointment, that still leaves 23
hours left in the day,” Platten said.
“What they do in those 23 hours is
vital in managing their health.”
Oswald remembers that she
especially lit up at one particular
stop on the tour.
“Her favorite spot was, not
surprisingly, the costume storage
room. She found the women's
hats and spent a great deal of
time trying on different hats in
front of the full-length mirror,
accompanied by suitable poses
and facial expressions. Always
the actress!”
“You’ve got to focus on quality
and service to the patient,” Pollard
said. “It’s not so much the business
we’re in as it is the work that we do.
You’ve got to have balance.”
Pollard noted that, historically,
health care reimbursement
As reports of her death spread
worldwide on July 17, famed
actress Elaine Stritch took
center stage again for one last
time. Video clips and stories
circulated among fans and news
organizations that described her
as “brassy,” “a force of nature”
and “gritty” with an “acerbic
wit.” In life, she gladly owned
those traits and often portrayed
characters who reflected them.
“When we showed her the theater, she stood on stage,
looking out as if she were ready to entertain an audience,”
Sister Mary Lea said.
And that was the plan. She not only delivered the
commencement address, but also sang a song for the
graduates. Sister Mary Lea remembers listening to Stritch
rehearse with the pianist who would accompany her at the
ceremony and seeing a glimpse of Stritch’s softer side.
Oswald likewise remembers her kind and tender heart.
“Elaine met with a group of our theater students at the
Pfister Hotel following commencement and I remember
how wonderful she was with them, asking each what
they were doing, what their interests were and what their
dreams were. She showed interest in each of them in a very
genuine and generous way,” Oswald said.
Two years later, Sister Mary Lea and University
administrators traveled to New York to visit East Coast
alumni, and they connected with Stritch. They gave her
some University apparel and enjoyed her show at the
Carlyle Hotel.
Until Elaine Stritch’s death, she and Sister Mary Lea
maintained an ongoing connection. Stritch used to
send Sister Mary Lea a box of Bay’s English Muffins for
Christmas, since Stritch was once married to John Bay,
whose family owned Bay’s.
“All in all, she was a gutsy, caring, woman who put things
in perspective and would have been right at home with her
relative, Cardinal Stritch,” Sister Mary Lea said.

A package deal
Teammates for life, twin sisters hope to contribute to another national championship run
for women’s basketball
by Dan Kuklinski, ’14, Director of Athletic Communications
From birth, twin siblings begin their lives with an
extraordinary bond that cannot be fully explained.
They start their lives as what one may call “womb mates.”
It is no surprise this special bond can later lead to them
becoming playmates, roommates and even teammates.
There were days the twins would walk back into the
house after some tough backyard sibling competition
with scrapes, bruises, and clothes streaked with grass
stains, but that never stopped them. At the time, they had
no way of knowing these backyard matches were not only
building their competitiveness, but also their bond as
sisters and teammates.
Many sets of twins become enthralled with sports.

Like most twins, Maria and
Maranda grew up side-by-side doing anything and
everything together.
“We’re best friends,” said Maria. “We’ve taken all the
same classes together since kindergarten, shared
clothes, played the same sports, and been inseparable
teammates.”
Growing up, Maria and Maranda were raised with three
other siblings, all boys. The twins were encouraged to
play sports with their brothers in the backyard.
“We would always pair up against our brothers in
basketball, football and soccer,” said Maranda.
As freshmen, the twins are already
leaving their mark at the University. Many people on
campus refer to the duo as “The Twins,” and they are
often thought of as a package deal. As they swing into
things, they hope to make their own mark not only as
individuals, but as twins. Moving into this new phase
of their lives, Maria and Maranda have an intuitive
knowledge of each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
They are constantly in competition to outplay one
another. The Stritch women’s basketball program will
look to the twins and their instinctual bond to propel
them toward the dream of an NAIA national title.

Get to know Stritch Director of Athletics Dr. Tim Van Alstine
by Dan Kuklinski, ’14, Director of Athletic Communications
Dr. Tim Van Alstine, the
University’s new director of
athletics, joins Stritch after
serving as assistant vicepresident/director of athletics for
the Western Illinois University
Athletics Department, which
competes in NCAA Division I.
Under Van Alstine's leadership,
Western captured 28 conference
championships, won three Conference Commissioner's
Cups (2003-05) and earned three consecutive runner-up
finishes (2006-08). Van Alstine assumed leadership from
Patrick Clemens, ’01, who retired in July 2014 after 17
years of service to the University and six years in the role
of director of athletics.
Q: What drew you to Cardinal Stritch
University?
A: My interest in Stritch was two-fold. Quite honestly, I
was in a situation where I had the privilege of balancing
where I wanted to be professionally and where I wanted
to be geographically. Stritch provided the perfect balance.
I am a Wisconsin native, originally from De Pere, Wis.,
and my wife is from Rockford, Ill. Stritch and Milwaukee
are the perfect fit. At the same time, I was drawn to a
small, private, Catholic environment. Professionally, I
experienced intercollegiate athletics at all programmatic
levels: NCAA Division I (Football Bowl Subdivision
(FBS) and Football Championship Subdivision (FCS))
and NCAA Division III (as a student-athlete and coach).
Stritch is a different opportunity. Stritch and its Athletics
Department are in a growth mode, and I wanted to be a
part of that process.
Q: What is your personal sports experience?
A: I had the privilege of being a two-sport studentathlete at St. Norbert College: football for four years and
track for three years. My time at St. Norbert was truly
special, as I was able to play football for my dad, who was
head coach at the time. My only disappointment was
we did not win more games. Following graduation from
St. Norbert, I was fortunate to have signed a free-agent
contract to play professional football with the Michigan
Panthers of the United States Football League. At the
time, the USFL was a start-up professional league, and
it was a great opportunity and memorable experience.
Unfortunately, I was released in training camp. I know
my reality – too short, too small, too slow. Still, it was
awesome.
18
Stritch
MAGAZINE
Q: What is your favorite sports movie?
A: I guess my favorite is "Brian’s Song" – a great movie
involving sports but more about the deep and lasting
relationships that develop because of athletics. I know
there will be some very strong relationships that have and
will develop with our coaches, staff, and student-athletes.
Just like Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers, sports brought
them together and their personal bond happened because
of sports. That happens at Stritch, too.
Q: Do you have a personal motto or mantra?
A: Every day I thank God for the talents and opportunities
I have been given. I pray that I will use these to the best
of my ability. I am also thankful for the challenges and
disappointments I encounter, and I pray for wisdom in my
decision-making, especially when decisions affect others.
Q: What are your hobbies?
A: My wife, Lynn, and I are both avid golfers. Golf is an
activity we do together, and we compete with each other
or just play for fun. I also enjoy hunting and fishing.
We own some property in northern Wisconsin. Access
to the outdoors is something I will appreciate here in
Milwaukee. I recently purchased one of those step/calorie
tracking devices, so I have become quite conscious of
my walking and exercise routine, and I really enjoy the
walking involved.
Q: Where do you see Cardinal Stritch
University Athletics in five years?
A: Within the past 18 months, Stritch Athletics has
expanded its competitive program opportunities with
the addition of 10 new sports. Adding programs and
increasing the number of coaches and student-athletes
has and will continue to present some growing pains.
Obviously, there has been an impact on staff and
facilities. Moving forward our challenges will focus
on enhancing the student-athlete experience, which
includes facilities. But, the really cool thing is any
facility enhancements will certainly advance the overall
experience for the entire University community: students,
faculty, staff, and alumni.

Not the “what,” but the “who”
Education at Stritch founded on purposeful self-discovery
by Sara Woelfel
“We believe every person is born with a special purpose in life, with talents
that were meant to be shared to help others. Essentially, our mission is to
help our students find theirs.” – President Dr. James P. Loftus
S
tudents grow up hearing, ‘What are you going to be?
What are you going to major in? What are you going
to do?’ Our society is conditioned around the ‘what.’
But if you stop a moment and you tell these students to
leave the ‘what’ alone, put it aside, and start asking ‘who’
am I called to be? Or ‘where’ am I called to be? Or ‘why’ am
I called to do this or ‘how’ am I called to do that? If we come
up with answers to those questions, the ‘what’ will work
itself out.”
Sounding a bit like the classic Abbott and Costello routine,
Sean Lybeck-Smoak, the University’s assistant director
of experiential learning, explained with great passion
the underlying philosophy that drives the University’s
programs, curriculum, and culture. Very little happens at
Stritch that isn’t anchored by intentional efforts to offer
students time, space, guidance, and resources to reflect
on the life they lead and the future they hope to secure,
or, as Lybeck-Smoak calls it – the “who.” It goes beyond
the degrees they pursue and the skills they will take into
the workforce, and instead focuses on the discernment of
a deeper calling that will add meaning to their labor, no
matter what industry they choose.
“We believe every person is born with a special purpose
in life, with talents that were meant to be shared to help
others,” said President Dr. James P. Loftus. “Essentially, our
mission is to help our students find theirs.”
THAT LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA
The roots of this philosophy trace quite naturally back to
the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi, founders of Stritch.
“From the very beginning, there was this sense that we are
a place where people can come, especially those who are
marginalized, and discover what it is that they are called
to be in this world,” said Sean Lansing, director of Mission
Engagement.
That foundation continues to guide the work of hundreds
of laypeople who partner with the Sisters to offer an
educational experience with “lagniappe.”
Lagniappe? Pronounced LAN-yap, Nate Friday, ’14,
describes it as “the extra piece that no one asks for,
but when you get it, it’s an amazing thing.” Friday first
heard the term from director of student experience
Matt Goodwin and later made it the central focus of his
student commencement address in May 2014. He said
what made his Stritch education special was “that little
something extra, that little something more” that helped
him define himself differently by giving him room and
opportunities to grow.
After first attending a larger university where his life
revolved solely around baseball and academics, Friday
realized that he wanted more out of his university
experience. He transferred to Stritch and discovered a
place where a starting pitcher majoring in secondary
education and social studies with a religious studies minor
can also participate in the Franciscan Servant Scholars
(FSS) program, lead campus retreats, serve on the Student
Athletic Advisory Council, travel to Rome and Assisi on
pilgrimage, and lead orientation activities.
“It’s being able to play baseball and professors being willing
to meet with you at weird hours of the night because you
were on a road trip and they want to work with you on an
assignment,” Friday said of how the Stritch community
not only encourages students to get involved, but backs
that up with time and effort. “That doesn’t show up on any
accreditation report, but it’s the most important part of
your experience.”
Friday also would argue that only at Stritch would a guy
like him – a self-described “prototypical athlete” with a
minimal high school art background – be given a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity to design and create a signature
stained-glass window, “Go Light Your World,” for the
entrance to the University’s St. Francis of Assisi Chapel.
“To be entrusted with such a visible symbol, it’s just
another example of how Stritch allows you to do all sorts of
different things,” Friday said.
INTENSIVE, INTENTIONAL REFLECTION
Friday now serves as director of lifelong formation for
St. Matthias Catholic Church in Milwaukee, a job he
didn’t envision until his internship experiences, reflection
exercises, and ongoing discernment made possible through
FSS led him to discover the ways he could use his gifts and
experiences in parish work.
“Among my classmates in Franciscan Servant Scholars,
I was the only one who knew exactly what I wanted to do
after college – be a high school social studies teacher and
coach,” Friday said. “And the funny thing is, now I’m doing
nothing of the sort.”
Lybeck-Smoak said Friday is not the only student to
discover a new life’s calling through taking advantage of
student opportunities at Stritch, particularly the FSS, a
selective scholarship program that evolved from the former
Religious Scholars Vocation Program (RSVP). A four-year
formation program for traditional undergraduates of all
majors, FSS facilitates an intensive, intentional and, often,
powerful process that helps guide students in integrating

their faith with their academic and career interests as they
discern their place in the world. (See a profile of another
FSS student on page 42.)
“The power is in the community of students engaging in
this together,” Lybeck-Smoak said. “They are coming to
reflect, to learn, to grow, to serve, to participate in a forum
in which they articulate where they are on their journey
and explore the Franciscan values, stories of the heritage,
and social justice issues.”
FUELING THE FIRE
The Mission Engagement team offers two other lifedefining programs that match students with community
organizations: Urban Fellows and the Great Lakes Career
Ready Internship program.
Senior Amber Dyson, an English
major and communications minor
from Milwaukee, can attest to the
power of Urban Fellows, a servicefocused internship program that
emphasizes personal reflection. She
participated for three years, and her
experiences took her in unexpected
new directions.
DISCERNMENT AT ANY AGE
The Great Lakes Career Ready Internship grant (See
related story on page 62) offered through Mission
Engagement opens up internship opportunities not only
for traditional undergraduates, but also for adult students,
particularly in the College of Business and Management.
“This is about more than internship experiences, but
we include some workshop and reflection pieces to
help participants connect their internships to the larger
question of, ‘Who is it you want to be?’” Lybeck-Smoak
said. “It’s about discovering their identity through the
process and intentionally bringing it back to that bigger
question of calling.”

competencies to address societal challenges or to create
organizations with a purpose.”
To help solidify her path, Dyson took advantage of
opportunities to go outside the boundaries that once
confined her. She served as a new student orientation
leader, participated in a service trip, mentored high school
students, and held a campus job. She relied on the support
of the Mission Engagement team and also on the guidance
of faculty members like Cheri Frey-Hartel, assistant
professor of communication arts.
“She encourages me not just in academics, but personally,”
Dyson said. “She helped me to discover that I love dealing
with social justice. She’ll send me articles and talk not just
in class but outside of class about different things that I’m
passionate about. She fuels my fire, keeps me going.”
With graduation approaching quickly, Dyson feels prepared
with a clear and focused vision.
“The Amber I was as a freshman is totally a different
Amber than I am today,” said Dyson, who was the student
speaker at the Windows on Stritch scholarship fundraising
dinner in September. “I came here for a reason, and it was
to grow. And I did, not only as a scholar, but as a person.”

The College of Business and Management emphasizes
“people, planet, profit” to articulate how the academic
programs align with the University’s Franciscan values –
compassion, creating a caring community, peacemaking,
and reverence for creation. Students immediately begin
to understand what makes Stritch’s business programs
distinctive when told their first assignment is to plan and
execute a group service project.
“It’s a signature way in which our business students have
come to understand the Franciscan values, but also a
pathway to discover a connection of their own personal
mission to their professional lives,” said Gesner, noting
that in the past 10 years, approximately 10,000 students
have provided more than 40,000 hours of service.
The Business Leaders With a Conscience speakers series
offered by the College brings this conversation to the wider
community each month. Featuring alumni who share their
professional insight on purposeful and ethical business
models, the series draws crowds eager to learn the keys to
socially responsible business leadership and success.
“You can see the excitement and significance this has for
students,” Gesner said. “They see themselves up there on the
stage, and it’s so empowering. It’s especially meaningful coming
from alumni who are truly modeling what we’re trying to
convey.”
STORIES INSPIRE
Breanna Mekuly, assistant director of University Ministry,
agrees with Gesner that the power of stories and can move
people at their deepest foundation, so one of her goals as the
newest member of the Mission Engagement team is to help
students connect to people who can inspire and challenge
them. One such effort this fall involved a student dinner at the
Motherhouse where many Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi live or
work.
“One of the best ways for students to figure out and shape their
mission – or their “story” – is to listen to other people’s stories,”
Mekuly said. “I think it’s great for students to go into the place
where the Sisters live and to be able to talk with inspirational
women who have made such huge discernments in their lives.”

These free-flowing discussions related to mission, purpose,
and calling also more intentionally take place during regular
academic advising discussions and career counseling sessions,
thanks to a restructuring last year that led to the creation of
the Student Success Center. Now, the offices of Academic
and Career Advising, Student Support, Student Experience,
Mission Engagement, and Retention operate under the same
umbrella and do more planning as a unit. This allows regular
opportunities for the Mission Engagement team to help
colleagues more intentionally incorporate mission-focused
discussions into their conversations with students.
CURRICULA AND CLINICALS
Stritch’s academic programs, infused with Catholic Franciscan
values, also very intentionally lead students toward greater
self-awareness as they learn the skills essential to preparing
for their career.
Last fall, the University enhanced its liberal arts CORE (general
education) curriculum that provides new academic options
and more quickly leads to completion of the bachelor’s degree.
In defining the CORE learning outcomes, the administration
focused not only on the academic goals for students, but on
shaping their spiritual understanding and their personal and
social responsibility for the Franciscan heritage, moral and ethical
reasoning, and local and global community engagement.
Mark Gesner, '13, with Janice Ochenkowski, '70,
at a Business Leaders with a Conscience talk
“These outcomes lead to deeper questions around calling,”
Lybeck-Smoak said. “So it’s in our fabric from the first class to the
last class.”
Students who enroll in programs through the Ruth S. Coleman
College of Nursing and Health Sciences or the College of
Education and Leadership come to Stritch already knowing a lot
about their future career path or leadership goals. These Colleges
provide a variety of field experiences starting early and continuing
throughout the programs to enable degree seekers at all levels to
narrow down their areas of specialty within the broader field.

“Students are learning valuable nursing skills in the clinical
setting,” said Nursing Dean Dr. Kelly Dries, ’03, ’14. “But
it’s really that pull, that tug on the heart, and, ultimately,
their mission that I think it’s our job to help them find by
providing as many unique opportunities as possible.”
Dries said the College provides optional tracks or
specialized topics of study for students in the Master
and Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs and the
Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Therapy program
that give students a chance to make their learning more
meaningful and tailored to their individual interests. And,
through the creation of a new mental health strand in the
Bachelor of Science in Nursing program made possible
in part through a grant from Milwaukee’s Faye McBeath
Foundation, the College integrated introspective
exercises into the curriculum that will help students
further define their life path.
“The integration of mental health content throughout the
nursing curriculum is unique because it builds in student
exploration of values, biases and beliefs and how that
potentially impacts care,” said Associate Dean Dr. Kathy
Van Eerden, ’14. “And that reflection is a learning activity
that is very unique to the Cardinal Stritch University
nursing program.”
Personal reflection is woven through the curriculum of the
College of Education and Leadership as well. Students in
the doctoral program in Leadership for the Advancement
of Learning and Service are required to create a personal
mission statement and then refine it as they progress
through the program.
“In the third year, they go back to their personal mission
statement and develop a service project that relates directly
to it,” said Dr. Peter Jonas, chair of the doctoral program.
“We help people transform themselves. We do it through
our curriculum, but we also do it through action.”
Dr. Demond Means, ’97, ’05, superintendent of the
Mequon-Thiensville School District in Mequon, Wis., is a
graduate of Stritch’s master’s in educational leadership and
doctorate in leadership programs and said he appreciated
the ways faculty challenged him to dig deeper.
“Once you have identified what’s of interest to you, what’s
your mission, what you’re passionate about, Stritch
will then say, ‘Well, find the research around it, find the
academic foundation around it. Why is this important?’”
Means said. “It allows the learners to construct their own
academic foundation for advocacy for whatever they are
passionate for.”
Raquel Filmanowicz, ’03,

affairs, BMO Harris Bank
Gesner said a similar practice is incorporated in the
business leadership curriculum for the MBA program.

Earlier this year, the University launched a marketing
initiative that encourages people throughout the Stritch
community to declare their own personal mission
statements and write them on placards for display. Led
by Milwaukee-based BVK advertising agency as part
of the University’s brand messaging, “Our mission is to
help you find yours,” the effort helps people vocalize their
mission in life and is meant to drive home the point that
Stritch is a place that nurtures this process of personal
discovery.
“This is something that the University has been doing,
but we just haven’t put these words to it before,” said Ken
Cutts, director of marketing.
BVK executive vice president and creative director Gary
Mueller said his firm undertook a monthlong process
involving interviews, research, and exploration to arrive
at the idea that “a purpose-driven education” defines
Stritch at every level.
“With the help of our advertising agency, we have looked
into how Stritch prepares students that’s different than
what other universities do,” Cutts said. “And what they
landed on is this idea that everything that happens here
helps students figure out their purpose and their future
mission in life.”
Stritch’s more than 33,000 alumni can attest to the
various ways their education helped them not just to
make a living, but to make a life. Those experiences
make this new message more than a clever tagline, but
an expression of that “lagniappe” that defines the Stritch
experience and reveals the deep-down influence of the
Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi on the University’s culture.
What’s YOUR mission?
The University plans to continue
distributing mission placards to people
throughout the Stritch community and
challenges alumni to consider submitting
their own personal mission statements
via social media sites (#StritchMission).

Honoring our retirees
These beloved members of the Stritch community may be moving on to new roles and endeavors, but they leave behind
the lives they touched, the memories they made, and their own special legacy. We bid them farewell and hope you’ll join
us in honoring the contributions they made by reaching out to them with your own well wishes and personal messages.
Cardinal Stritch University gratefully acknowledges the following members of our faculty and staff who retired at the
end of the 2013-14 academic year. They are listed here with their years of service to Stritch. The University is deeply
grateful for the combined 266 years of service as executors and guardians of the Stritch mission.

“Graduating to a different stage”
Tia (Rosati) Bojar, ’69, retires nearly 50 years after first stepping foot on campus
Dr. Anthea (Rosati) Bojar, ’69,
retired from Cardinal Stritch
University in August after
nearly four decades of service
as a faculty member, dean and
executive vice president for
academic affairs.
“I feel like I’m graduating to a
different stage,” said Bojar, who is affectionately known as
“Tia.” “I believe in the mission of Stritch and I believe in the
people here; that has never changed. But I believe that now
is really the perfect breaking point to do other things.”
In announcing Bojar’s retirement, Stritch President Dr.
James Loftus praised her commitment to the institution.
“Let me express my deep and profound gratitude to Tia
for her decades of dedicated leadership to the University,”
he said. “She is a visionary leader who, as dean, built on
the successes of her predecessors and further shaped
the College of Education and Leadership into one of
the University’s jewels. As executive vice president
for academic affairs, she has been of great help to me,
personally, and to the entire institution.”
Earning her bachelor’s degree in education from Stritch in
1969, Bojar first connected with Stritch during the intense
activism of the 1960s. She admits she did not hesitate to
push boundaries.

Stritch
MAGAZINE
“Any rule here, I tried to march on it,” she said with a laugh.
“I think there were sighs of relief by several people when I
finally did graduate.”
Bojar returned to Stritch as an adjunct faculty member in
1972 while working full time as a middle school teacher
and then became a full-time professor in 1975. Over the
years, Bojar served as the head of the undergraduate
education and special education departments, as chair
of teacher education, and associate dean of teacher
education. She became the founding dean of the College of
Education and Leadership in 1997.
Bojar became executive vice president for academic
affairs in 2010, and provided steady leadership in a time
of transition while also helping lead the preparation for
a yearlong self-study as part of the University’s Higher
Learning Commission reaccreditation visit in spring. Bojar
co-chaired the effort with Dr. Peter Jonas, chair of the
doctoral program in leadership.
Bojar, who now holds the title of Dean Emerita, is a
recognized expert in K-12 education and leadership
development, and she has shared her expertise on several
not-for-profit boards and consulted with many others.
Bojar is excited to return to this kind of work, and she also
has two books in varying stages of development.

Sister Margaret Klotz retires
After 16 years of service
to the University, Sister
Margaret Klotz, OSF, Ph.D.,
’71, retired in July 2014.
Sister Margaret attended
Cardinal Stritch College and
graduated with a bachelor of
arts degree in education. She began her career in the
classroom, teaching middle school and upper grades.
She went on to teach high school math for 20 years.
Father Jim, who entered the Franciscan order in
1981 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1987,
joined Stritch in 2006 as director of the Franciscan
Mission Office. During his time at Stritch, he also
served as the campus priest and as a spiritual advisor
to faculty, staff and students participating in the
Franciscan Pilgrimage program. He plans to continue
to celebrate Mass on campus and support University
Ministry as he is able.
An avid and devoted Franciscan scholar, Sister
Margaret’s research on the Franciscan tradition has
been published in several journals.
“It has been my privilege to receive such affirming
and uplifting spiritual guidance from Father Jim, as
well as the benefit of his expertise on our Catholic
Franciscan tradition,” said president Dr. James
Loftus. “He has been called to minister differently
now and we congratulate him, wish him well, and
thank him for all he has done for Cardinal Stritch
University.”
The Franciscan Center Library is one of the nation’s
largest and most comprehensive collections of
Franciscan literature. Through Sister Margaret’s
expert management, the library’s collection has
grown to include more than 7,200 titles.
Alumnus Nate Friday, ’14, wrote a personal reflection
about Father Jim and his time at Stritch. Read that piece at
www.stritch.edu/magazine.
Sister Margaret was named director of the
Franciscan Center at Stritch in 1997. Under her
leadership, the center has served the University
and wider community by promoting research on
the history, spirituality and values of the Catholic
Franciscan tradition.
Over the summer, Sister Margaret shared her
recommendations for books on the Franciscan heritage (all
available through the Franciscan Center Library). Learn

Guest Essay
Whatever happened to Colleen “Kitti” Muscha, ’70, ’75?
by Sara Woelfel
Sitting at the light board in
the Little Theater at Stritch,
Colleen “Kitti” Muscha, ’70,
’75, discovered the magic that
happens backstage. Recruited
by her appointed “big sister,”
Muscha worked several
productions not yet realizing
these experiences would feed
her eventual decision to pursue
a graduate degree and later a
career as a costume designer.
Earning both art education
and fine arts degrees, Muscha
came to Stritch drawn by the
opportunity to study art
with famed artist Sister
Thomasita Fessler, OSF.
Today she credits her art
degree, the sewing skills
she learned from her mother
growing up, the tutelage of
Sister Thomasita and Professor
Irene Kilmurry, and her early
experiences backstage at Stritch with leading her to
explore her early interest in costume design, which
is now the focus of her career as the director of the
Master of Fine Arts Costume Design program at
Florida State University in Tallahassee.
“When I applied to graduate programs in costume
design, I was worried I didn’t have a theater degree and
I hadn’t done costume design per se,” said Muscha,
who worked as an art teacher at Riverside High School
in Milwaukee at the time while doing community
theater work on the side. “But I realized I had such a
good foundation in design and art from Stritch, and
with my stitching that my mother taught me, that I was
actually farther ahead of some of the other people who
had theater degrees.”
master’s degree in costume and scenic design from
Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
Starting out as a costume design assistant as part of
an internship at the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre,
she moved a few years later to New York City to
establish herself as an independent costume designer.
In those five years as a freelancer and to the present
day, Muscha has worked throughout the country at
professional New York companies, regional theaters
and universities designing for such noted actors as
Morgan Freeman, Harold Gould, Michael Rooker, CCH
Pounder, Lois Nettleton, Phyllis Frelich, Joe Morton
and Lili Taylor, among others.
She discovered her gift for teaching and sharing her
craft as a professor at Purdue University, where she
worked for four years before starting at Florida State.
“The department was pretty well established when
I came to Florida State, but we have really built it up
so I think it’s become even more recognizable and
prestigious among MFA programs in the United
States,” Muscha said. “I made some real changes in
our curriculum. Where classes used to be more general
– Costuming 1 and Costuming 2 – I developed many
specific classes, like Computer Costume Rendering,
Fabric Modification, Dance Costume Design, and
Costume History Seminar.”
In the fall semester, Muscha continued teaching and
is expanding her own professional education and
research as she learns how to operate a digital textile
printing machine–a new innovation in theater as an
alternative to standard silk screening processes. And
as she looks ahead to next year, Muscha said she is
open to whatever new opportunities await.

“Meanings made”
Personal journey spurs study focused on hopeful outcomes following clinical depression
It may seem counterintuitive to
consider a traumatic experience
meaningful. But Holocaust survivor
Viktor Frankl, an Austrian neurologist
and psychiatrist, so eloquently
illustrated how meaning can come
from pain: “If there is a meaning in life
at all, then there must be a meaning
in suffering. Suffering is an eradicable
part of life, even as fate and death:
without suffering and death human life
cannot be complete.”
Anyone who has ever experienced or
known someone who has experienced
clinical depression can understand the
intense suffering that accompanies
this common mental illness. As a
recent student in Stritch’s doctoral
program, I focused my dissertation
research on developing a better
understanding of how people who
have experienced clinical depression
seek meaning and achieve growth.
Having experienced clinical depression
in my early 20s, I wanted readers to
understand how meaning-making and
greater self-awareness can result from
this debilitating and frustrating illness.
Mental illnesses still are gravely
misunderstood and laden with stigma.
Nevertheless, I’ve met many people
who, over time, have accepted and
embraced their diagnosis and gone on
to lead fulfilling and productive lives.
My doctoral study aimed to normalize
depression and give people struggling
with this illness a sense of hope.
“Meaning-making” literature
originated around the phenomenon of
trauma, such as cancer, amputation,
loss or chronic pain. According to
authors Crystal Park and Amy Ai,
“meaning making is coming to see or
understand the situation in a different
way and reviewing and reforming one’s
beliefs and goals in order to regain
consistency among them.” Crystal Park
and Susan Folkman’s model suggests
that if someone embraces the making
of meaning perhaps their chances of
experiencing a severe relapse may
decrease.
The process of achieving meaning
making focuses on learning about
the patterns, thoughts, behaviors,
attitudes, and beliefs that emerge as
people endure great stress. Through
this process, people can become
better at managing their stress, and,
ultimately, their clinical depression.
As a qualitative researcher, I used a
phenomenological approach for my
dissertation study since it examines
the lived experience. To participate,
study participants must have at one
time had clinical depression as stated
in the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders (DSMIV) but were no longer experiencing
depression. I designed my study based
on data suggesting that when people
actively engage in their suffering and
attempt to find meaning in it, they
experience growth toward recovery.
My study identified three phases of
meaning making that led to eventual
outcomes: pre-diagnosis, breakdown,
and diagnosis and treatment. The
Muscha, who holds the Don Stowell Jr. Professor
of Costume Design, is in her 26th year teaching in
the master’s program at Florida State. She said her
greatest professional rewards come from seeing
former students carve out successful careers in theater
and film. However, she also has amassed her own
impressive résumé since graduating in 1978 with her
positive outcomes, also known
as “meanings made,” reported by
participants included: greater selfawareness, intensified spirituality/
religion/faith, and better coping skills
for future depression and stressors.
Through the experience, participants
drew various kinds of meaning
(outcomes) from their experiences
with clinical depression:
“I let myself off the hook more. I am
not as hard on myself when things go
wrong. I am more, ‘What will happen
will happen’ and, ‘Don't try and
control the stuff you can't control.’”
– Andrew
“It (depression) has definitely made me
a stronger person. It has enriched my life
in many ways. I feel that it has drawn
me closer to the Lord and closer to my
faith. I really sort of believe in wholeperson health and I feel that after my
diagnosis and after my treatment I
really had to take a look at which parts
of my life are not being fulfilled and
what can I do something about.” - Tara
Suffering is part of the human
condition. What I hope others learn
through this study is that when people
actively engage in their suffering – by
embracing it, figuring out how to
decrease it, and reaching out for help –
they may grow and find some meaning
as they move toward recovery. If
people see that recovery is possible and
choose to work toward it, perhaps the
magnitude of this crisis can be
decreased.

Sister Ann Ferschl,
OSF, Ph.D., professor
emerita of biology
and former member
of the University
Board of Trustees,
died on Sept. 12 at the
age of 91.
After professing her vows to the
Congregation of the Sisters of St.
Francis of Assisi in 1950, Sister Ann
(formerly Sister John Baptist) began
her ministry in teaching, a life’s
mission that would span half of a
century.
After earning her bachelor’s degree in
biology from then-named Cardinal
Stritch College in 1954, Sister Ann
immediately pursued her master’s
degree and doctorate in the same field,
graduating from Fordham University
in New York.
Asked by her superiors to earn
advanced degrees in biology so she
could return to teach the subject at
Stritch, Sister Ann joined Sister Mary
Aquin Miller, OSF, in 1957, and the
two served as the department’s only
faculty members. She taught for 10
years, also assigned to duty in the
student residence hall.
In 1967, Sister Ann was elected to
serve as vicar and council member for
the Sisters of St. Francis’ governing
body. She was elected to a second
term and served until 1975.
Sister Ann returned to Stritch and
taught in the biology department for
the next 20 years, serving twice as
department chair.
Throughout her tenure at Stritch,
Sister Ann maintained the drive to
advance her own education. She took
courses in ecology and environmental
science at the University of Wisconsin
– Milwaukee and attended National
Science Foundation institutes on
botany and physiology.
“In a small liberal arts college with
a limited number of faculty in a
department, one needed a diverse
background of knowledge,” Sister Ann
wrote in “Our Stories: A Franciscan
Heritage.” “This required lifelong
learning by means of reading,
self-study, attendance at meetings,
seminars, workshops and institutes.”
Sister Ann retired from teaching
in 1995, but her service to Stritch
continued when she was appointed
to the Board of Trustees only a
few months later and named as a
professor emerita in 1996.
In a 1998 personal reflection, Sister
Ann described her joy in seeing the
University’s development and growth.
“Looking back over these many years,
I realize the wonderful growth that has
taken place and that many lives have
been touched in countless ways. God
has blessed us!”
Only days before her death, Sister Ann
participated in a retreat at
St. Francis Convent where she
received the anointing of the sick. She
was laid to rest on Sept. 16 at Holy
Sepulcher Cemetery in Cudahy, Wis.
Read Sister Ann’s personal
reflection in “Our Stories” at
We remember: Sister Jeanne Moynihan, RSCJ
Generations of
students and
colleagues fondly
remember Sister
Jeanne Moynihan,
RSCJ, Ph.D., who
taught art history
courses as an adjunct
professor at Stritch for about three
decades. She died on Oct. 8 at age 89.
Teaching up until three semesters ago,
Sister Jeanne, a Sister in the Society
of the Sacred Heart, touched and
inspired students of all majors, but
particularly the art students who recall
not only her brilliance, but her sweet
demeanor.
“She was inspiring and kind,” said
Mark Quistorf, ’07, who majored in
theater and music performance and
now serves as Stritch’s director of
financial aid. “And she taught me to
see through the obvious and expand
my mind.”
Art Department Chair Tim Abler
knew her for three decades and
remembers how often students
would congregate in Sister Jeanne’s
classroom both before and after class
to ask questions and explore some
topics in greater depth.
“She was always an adjunct, never
a full-time instructor, but people
always thought she was,” said Abler,
noting she always attended student
exhibitions. “She was a scholar and
an art historian who intimately knew
things other historians didn’t know
because she was approaching it often
from a different point of view that was
both scholarly and emotional.”
In addition to teaching at Stritch,
Sister Jeanne also taught at several
Sacred Heart Schools in the Midwest.
She served as education coordinator
for performing arts at the Milwaukee
Performing Arts Center and as
assistant director of public relations
on the board for the Arts Development
Council of Milwaukee County.
“I am doing what I was trained for
and what I love,” Sister Jeanne once
wrote of her ministry. “This is my
place where I announce the Love of
the Heart of Jesus. I show them His
love by loving them and respecting
them. …We explore how He has acted
in the world, throughout time, as it
is mirrored in the arts. …I can show
them the sacred in their own lives, and
He blesses this work.”
Sister Jeanne earned her bachelor’s
degree in art education from
Milwaukee State Teachers College
and her master’s degree and doctorate
in art history from Northwestern
University.
“She was a good and happy soul,
always greeting you with a smile,” said
Professor Emeritus David Oswald.
“She just made everyone feel good.”

increase of more than $600,000 over the previous year.
This accomplishment represents contributions and
pledges from alumni, parents, friends, corporations,
foundations and other organizations.
Gifts to Stritch in 2013-14 have been directed to
many priority areas, including: undergraduate
student financial aid and scholarships; professional
development and continuing education for faculty;
underwriting of national speakers complementing our
classroom teaching; new academic programs, including
respiratory therapy in the recently renamed Ruth S.
Coleman College of Nursing and Health Sciences;
extending our higher education reach throughout our
Wisconsin and Minnesota communities; student study
abroad opportunities; and athletics.
Giving highlights include:
• 100 percent participation from University Trustees,
Alumni Association Board of Directors, President’s
Cabinet and Deans.
• 1,172 alumni contributed to the University, an increase
of more than 250 donors over the last two years—
including 122 first-time donors during our 2014 Alumni
Challenge.
• Franciscan Heritage Society members(those who
include the University in their estate plan or commit to
a planned gift) made a wonderful impact at Stritch. In
2013-14, three donors’ planned gifts totaled more than
$500,000.
• More than $625,000 has been gifted to the Santa
Chiara Fund, a need-based scholarship fund, since
its inception in April 2013. Alumni and friends are
demonstrating their affection and admiration for the
Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi and affirming our need to
keep Stritch affordable for lower-income students and
their families.
Giving is from the heart. Numbers simply cannot tell
the stories of donors who give to the University because
they’ve had a transformational Stritch experience or
because they value what Stritch does in our community.
The pages of this magazine highlight a few benefactors
including Trustee Emeritus Jim Donnelly (page 54).
38
Jim and his wife, Mary, recently committed to a multiyear Santa Chiara Fund gift in honor of President
Emerita Sister Mary Lea Schneider, OSF, Ph.D. There is
also the beautiful story of Pat Derocher, ’69 (page 59), a
Milwaukee Public Schools teacher, who despite modest
means included Stritch in her Will to thank her alma
mater. The impact of Pat’s bequest will be realized in the
2014-15 academic year.
I am also reminded of a special multi-year scholarship
gift received this year from Rita (Gresback) Shor, ’69, of
Woodbury, Minn. Rita was first in her family to attend
college as was her husband, Steve. They know that
their lives and their children’s lives are quite different
because someone had the wisdom to invest in the
donor-funded scholarships bestowed upon them as
young adults. They are re-investing in those who follow
them with a five-year undergraduate scholarship for our
students studying in the STEM fields.
Finally we extend our gratitude to the group of
alumni and spouses who sponsored the 2014 Alumni
Challenge: Trustee Souheil Badran, ’88, ’97, and Lisa
(Petesch) Badran, ’87, ’90, of Fox Point, Wis.; Barbara
(Thomas) Barone, ’63, and husband Frank of Saratoga,
Calif.; Lori Craig, ’92, ’09, of Shorewood, Wis.; and
Laurie (Tines) Peregrine, ’06, and husband Frank of
Madison. This group stepped up, inspired many firsttime alumni donors and challenged others to increase
their gifts to Stritch.
Cardinal Stritch University depends upon you and
your charitable giving. Your gifts help ensure our rich
tradition of Catholic Franciscan education remains of
high quality and accessible. Your philanthropy is an
investment in the fine women and men who discover
their personal mission at Stritch.
If your name is not listed in this year’s Annual Report of
Donors, we cordially invite you to join the individuals,
families and organizations in these pages in helping
us educate and inspire tomorrow’s leaders. There’s no
better time to join or re-join us.
Warm regards,
Robert J. Buckla, Ed.D.

in community to answer those questions,
they are held accountable by each other. They
are encouraged by each other and turn into
each other’s cheerleaders. FSS provides them
with a forum in which to articulate where
they are in their journey."
Students progress through the program
together, in a cohort model. Both
collaboratively and individually, they engage
in service, ministry, working for peace and
social justice, and reflecting on the teachings
of St. Francis of Assisi. In their junior and
senior years, students are required to secure
an internship.

changed her life
by Laura Schreiner
Stritch senior Anne Gates is preparing
to leave the place that has been her home
for the last four years. She will graduate in
May 2015 with degrees in sociology and
religious studies.
Although graduation will be bittersweet,
Gates is prepared to embrace the changes it
brings because she knows that she is ready.
“Stritch has been my compass for the last
four years,” Gates said. “During my time
here, I’ve grown not only intellectually, but as
a whole person.”
During her senior year at St. Thomas
More High School in Milwaukee, Gates,
a cross country athlete, was recruited by
the University’s head coach. He invited her
to visit Stritch and learn more about her
options.
“I came to campus on a Sunday evening and
attended Mass,” Gates said. “My reaction
was immediate. I knew in my heart that it
was right. I belonged at Stritch.”
As a freshman, Gates was admitted to
Franciscan Servant Scholars (FSS), an
education, formation and scholarship
program that allows students to integrate
their faith with their academic and career
interests.
“Franciscan Servant Scholars students are
all going in different directions,” explained
Sean Lybeck-Smoak, assistant director of
experiential learning. “When they are called
Gates completed her first internship
with YouFra, a secular Franciscan youth
organization. In partnership with the
Milwaukee Franciscan Institute, she led the
development of Milwaukee’s first YouFra
chapter.
The experience of building something from
the ground up has been a valuable one for
Gates.
“Through Franciscan Servant Scholars, I’ve
learned the importance of deep reflection,”
Gates said. “Without reflecting, you are
only doing. The program has helped me to
develop a broader view of what I can do with
my life.”
Gates is grateful to the benefactors who
support Franciscan Servant Scholars,
including gifts to the Flahive Franciscan
Scholarship Fund, established by Bill and Jill
Maslowski to recognize the long service of
the late Dr. Robert Flahive, a key member of
Sister Camille Kliebhan’s leadership team.
“I would like to thank everyone who supports
FSS, from the bottom of my heart,” Gates
said. “Through your support, you are really
changing students’ lives. You’ve certainly
changed mine.”
In fact, the Franciscan Servant Scholars
program has inspired Gates to declare a
Franciscan lifestyle well beyond her time
on campus. She is in the inquiry phase of
studying to become a professed 3rd Order
Franciscan.
After graduation from Stritch, Gates plans to
pursue her master’s degree in psychology.
“You have to have passion to be
compassionate,” Gates said. “I am passionate
about helping children and families, and my
career could follow a million different paths
as long as it allows me to show compassion
to people in need.”

lucky enough to do OK in life, so it’s a matter

A Board’s-eye view
Donnelly reflects on 15 years
on the Board of Trustees,
continues support for Stritch
by Sara Woelfel
When University Trustee
Emeritus Jim Donnelly, '04
retired 10 years ago and
moved back to his home
state of Massachusetts, he
and his wife, Mary, did not
entirely leave Wisconsin
behind. While they do
not visit Wisconsin often
anymore, he continues to feel a special
connection to a certain college that became a
University and grew in many ways while he
served as a member of the Board of Trustees
for 15 years.
To express his ongoing support for the work
of Cardinal Stritch University and the ways it
reaches out in particular to first-generation
students, Donnelly recently made a multiyear pledge to the Santa Chiara Fund,
which was established in 2013 to honor the
Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi. To date, the
University has raised more than $625,000 for
the need-based scholarship fund.
“The whole idea of scholarships and helping
people who need help and maybe otherwise
couldn’t attend or go on to school, that was
one of the reasons I got involved in the school
in the first place,” said Donnelly, noting the
University’s Catholic roots and the ways its
mission aligned with his interests helped
him connect deeply to the work of Stritch.
“I didn’t grow up with too much and was
Serving as chair from 2000-02 and as vicechair for several previous years, Donnelly
initially joined Stritch’s board in 1990 in
the final year of the presidency of Sister
Camille Kliebhan, OSF, Ph.D. He then served
for many years alongside Sister Mary Lea
Schneider, OSF, Ph.D., and helped usher
the University through pivotal moments in
history, including the move to University
status, the introduction of the first doctoral
degree, the building of the Joan Steele Stein
Center for Communication Studies/Fine
Arts, and the growth of various academic
programs.
“There was a lot of innovation and creative
approaches to delivering education and a lot
of expansion into areas beyond the central
campus,” said Donnelly, who was chief
financial officer for Wicor and then president
and CEO of Wicor-affiliated STA-RITE
for the duration of his time on the Board.
“I believed in the mission and, through my
background and experience, felt that I was
able to provide some value. I liked what was
being done. And I just thought the world of
both Sister Camille and Sister Mary Lea.”
Donnelly spent his career working in general
management, finance and law, drawing
on his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in
business from Northeastern University in
Boston and on his law degree from Suffolk
University, also in Boston. In retirement, he
now splits his time between his oceanfront
home just south of Boston and his Florida
residence where he and his wife, Mary, live
each winter. They enjoy time with family,
particularly their four grandchildren, as well
as golfing, fishing, and boating.

Alumna dedicates career to students,
life to others
by Sara Woelfel
Generous. That’s how the people who
knew her best describe Patricia Derocher,
’69. She doted on nieces and nephews,
extended hospitality to friends, volunteered
her time for various causes, and dedicated
herself to the needs of her parish.
And even though she died in May,
Derocher’s generosity continues. Having
named Cardinal Stritch University as a
beneficiary in her will, Derocher is helping
to support the educational needs and
programs that make higher education
possible for a new generation of students.
Derocher’s name will be permanently
inscribed in the roster of the Franciscan
Heritage Society, recognizing alumni and
friends who support Stritch through estate
plans.
Have you
included
Cardinal Stritch
University in
your will?
All alumni and
friends who name
Stritch in their estate
plans are eligible for
membership in the
Franciscan Heritage
Society, a special
recognition program
for those who have
made a special
commitment to the
University. If your
name is not on our list
of Franciscan Heritage
Society members on
pages 57-58, please
contact Director
of Planned Giving
Chris Lange, '11, at
cjlange@stritch.edu
or (414) 410-4207.
“As a teacher, I think it meant a lot to her to
help people further their education,” said
her niece Sharon Derocher of Menomonee
Falls, Wis.
Derocher believed deeply in the value of
education, having dedicated her whole
career to working in Milwaukee Public
Schools. Starting out as a first-grade
teacher, she transitioned to working as
a reading specialist and, later, a reading
supervisor, serving several different
schools in her more than 30 years as an
educator. Derocher earned her bachelor’s
degree from the University of WisconsinMilwaukee and her master’s degree in
reading/language arts from Stritch, and
she eventually designed reading programs
and inservices as part of her work at MPS.
She also belonged to several professional
organizations, including the Milwaukee
Area Reading Council, Wisconsin State
Reading Association, the International
Reading Association, and the Association
for Supervision and Curriculum
Development.
When not working, Derocher loved
to travel. She visited international
destinations, but friends and family share
many accounts of memorable travels they
shared with her in her camper or her van,
driving to various destinations in the U.S.
and Canada.
“My older sister, me, and most of my nieces
and nephews traveled places with her,”
Sharon Derocher said. “She was probably
the one who took us on our first trips.”
Pat Derocher, who lived in West Allis,
Wis., also enjoyed traveling with people
she met through the Catholic Alumni
Club (CAC) in Milwaukee. This close-knit
group of Catholic, professional single
men and women traveled, volunteered,
picnicked, worshiped, dined, played bridge
and canasta, and entertained together,
starting in the 1960s and continuing
for decades. Among those who helped
celebrate Derocher’s life at her funeral,
approximately 50 CAC friends came to pay
their respects and share their memories.
“That was a very close-knit family. We
all grew up through our 20s, 30s and 40s
together and still maintain our friendships
today,” said Mary Alice Loomis, ’74, a
member of Stritch’s Franciscan Heritage
Society who met Derocher through the
CAC. “Pat did parties at her house for
people all the time. She would take some
of us camping or to different places in the
U.S. in her van or camper. She was very
generous with people.”
That generosity extended beyond her
CAC friends, her nieces and nephews,
grandnieces and grandnephews to
include various nonprofit and community
organizations, her home parish St.
Aloysius Church in Milwaukee where she
served on the liturgy and environmental
committee, and Cardinal Stritch University
where she served on the Alumni Board for
several years.
“I remember as a kid, the CAC would
participate in walks or go to a nursing
home to help, and I’d go along with my
aunt,” Sharon Derocher said. “I think
that’s how I got into volunteering. My aunt
instilled that in me.”
When not working, spending time with
family or CAC friends, Derocher liked to
read, sew, play piano, and continue to learn
through adult education classes.

Grant support
for internship
program results in
citywide impact
Through the continued support of the
Great Lakes Community Investment’s
Career Ready Internship Grant,
students in the College of Business
and Management secured summer
internships with Transform Milwaukee,
an economic initiative focused on
restoring vibrancy to the city.
Led by the Wisconsin Housing and
Economic Development Authority
(WHEDA) and supported through
additional government and private
funding, Transform Milwaukee focuses
its resources in the 30th Street Corridor,
Menomonee Valley, Port of Milwaukee,
and the Milwaukee Aerotropolis near
General Mitchell International Airport.
In July 2014, 10 students began
their internships with Transform
Milwaukee, working at various
partner sites. Students were placed at
UMOS, MICAH, Center for Teaching
Entrepreneurship, African American
Chamber of Commerce, 30th Street
Corridor Corporation, Lead2Change,
The School, Factory, and WHEDA.
According to Dr. Mark Gesner, ’13,
assistant professor and faculty chair
of community engaged learning and
leadership in the College of Business
and Management, the Career Ready
Internship Grant was the first of its
kind through which Stritch could extend
a funded internship opportunity to
evening accelerated business students.
“The combination of practical job
responsibilities with professional
networking has been an impactful
experience for our adult students,”
said Gesner. “Not only did they
genuinely appreciate benefiting from
the grant funds, but they also have the
maturity to recognize how their new
internship contacts and experiences
can substantively advance their careers
both now and in the future.”
Gesner added that Stritch students
bring a unique set of skills and values to
their internship sites and contribute on
multiple levels with a focus on people,
planet, and profit.
